Overcoming Failure Failure Can Be Positive or Negative Failure is a learning tool. Thomas Edison failed a thousand times before he invented the light bulb. Failure is trying to do things others have not considered. It is a temporary byproduct of creativity. It is challenging the learning process. It is experiential education at work. The real winners in life tolerate failure and the agony it produces. Success is achieved by those who are willing to take risk and lose. This is how this page in the Motivational Tools website starts off.

 [Editor: I like the quote above BUT it is not always true. Some individuals can spend a whole lifetime trying to follow dreams and not get any closer to them before they die. Sometimes, if you have tried and cannot make a success of your dream, then it may be just a dream. You may have to be practical and try something conventional and work on your dreams on a part-time basis or as a hobby instead of a full-time occupation.
